Facade sealing across West Hagbourne
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like West Hagbourne are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

How we handle facade sealing in West Hagbourne
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Site teams most often ask us about patch repairs that keep failing and staining on stone next to old sealant, on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. For commercial sealant work in West Hagbourne, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as West Hagbourne bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Halls, stores and units around places like West Hagbourne may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

What we’re called out for in West Hagbourne
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Extensions at sites like Didcot Hospital (1.2 miles north of West Hagbourne) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
What to look for in a quote
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?

Facades, frames and programmes in West Hagbourne
West Hagbourne sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 51 miles from West Hagbourne. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For contractors at a school such as Hagbourne Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Work at a hotel such as The Kingswell Hotel (0.9 miles north-west of West Hagbourne) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Questions we’re asked in West Hagbourne
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Didcot Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is West Hagbourne too far out for you?
No. Places such as West Hagbourne are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
